Awaken Powerful Soul Liberation by Embodying Ancient Wisdom
Ananta Ripa Ajmera—10-time award-winning author of The Way of the Goddess and The Ayurveda Way, rooted in an unbroken oral lineage of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Vedanta—invites you into a spiritual community guided by The Way of the Goddess’s 9-step Hero’s Journey to healing, freedom, and integrity-filled service.
Dr. Deepak Chopra, world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine and New York Times bestselling author of 90+ books says:
“I very highly recommend The Way of the Goddess. It has a lot of very practical wisdom that we desperately need in this world right now, torn with violence, mechanized death, social and economic injustice, chronic disease, mental illness, and total absence of joy. I think anyone and everyone, male or female, can benefit from this beautiful book, with all the illustrations, rituals, practices, insights, and the stories, both personal and mythical. I plan to re-read it myself.”
As Seen In
Welcome home to the part of you that gives from abundance, not depletion.
Our logo, inspired by the Sun—the universal source of light and life—is encircled by earthen lamps, or diyas. In the Vedic tradition, these sacred flames represent the inner fire we all carry to sustain ourselves while we serve others.
At The Ancient Way, our mission speaks directly to your heart:
To help you rediscover the wellspring within—your inner source of strength, wisdom, and renewal—so you can keep helping others without losing yourself in the process.
This is your invitation to:
Give from overflow instead of emptiness
Stay grounded while holding space for others
Find your spiritual community among fellow givers
Learn ancient practices that actually fit into your real, busy life
If you're tired of feeling drained after helping others, if you know self-care is important but struggle to prioritize it, if you've been on this healing journey alone for too long...
You're not just welcome here. You're needed here.
Because the world needs helpers who are sustained, not depleted. Healers who are whole. Givers who know how to receive.
Your healing matters as much as what you give to others.
Namaste. I’m Ananta.
I know what it's like to help everyone else while falling apart inside.
For over 14 years, I've dedicated my life to mastering the ancient healing sciences of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Vedanta—not just studying them, but living through the messy, beautiful process of using them to heal my own deep wounds.
I'm a spiritual teacher, Ayurveda practitioner, bestselling author, and podcast host. But honestly? What qualifies me to guide you isn't just my credentials or the unbroken lineages I've trained in for over a decade.
It's that I've been where you are.
I've experienced the exhaustion that comes from giving everything to others while neglecting yourself. I've felt the weight of ancestral trauma, the pain of disordered eating, the confusion of relationship wounds, and the depletion that happens when you're everyone's healer but nobody's taking care of you.
I know what it's like to have all the spiritual knowledge in the world but still struggle with the daily reality of putting yourself first—even for just five minutes.
Here's what changed everything for me: Learning that self-care isn't selfish when you're called to serve others. It's essential. The ancient sages knew this. They developed precise practices not for monks in caves, but for householders—people with real lives, real responsibilities, and real challenges.
Today, I bring these time-tested practices to therapists burning out in private practice, coaches struggling to maintain boundaries, healers who give so much they forget to receive, and conscious leaders trying to change the world without destroying themselves in the process.
Whether you're in a corporate boardroom holding space for your team, in a healing circle supporting others through trauma, or simply trying to parent with presence while managing your own stress—these teachings meet you exactly where you are.
I carry forward the spiritual lineage of Baba Ayodhya Nath Sinha and the ancestral Ayurvedic wisdom of generations of healers who understood that true service comes from abundance, not depletion.
This work isn't just my profession—I feel that it's my sacred responsibility to ensure that the helpers get helped, the healers get healed, and the givers learn to receive.
Because the world needs you sustained, not depleted.
